(a) 8,40
(b) 12,36
(c) 18,30
(d) 30,18
Option 5​

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

3x+5x=48

8x=48

x=48/8

x=6

3x=3×6=18

5x=5×5=30

Answer 2

Answer:

Two numbers are in the ratio $3:5$, if their sum is 48 then the numbers are the value of the option(c) 18,30

Step-by-step explanation:

We have a ratio of two numbers as 3:5 and the sum of those two numbers is 48 and now we have to find those numbers.

Step 1 of 2

Since the numbers are in ratio so there must be one common factor by which they can be divided. Let us assume that factor $x$ then

$3x+5x=48$

⇒$8x=48$

⇒$x=6$

So that common factor is 6

Step 2 of 2

Then by multiplying this common factor with the ratio we will get the original numbers. So

$3*6=18\\and5*6=30$

And these numbers are in option (c)

Hence the two umbers are contained in option(c) 18,30
